Halo haloo! Iya saya tau sudah lama banget tidak bersua di dunia oranye ini. Sebelumnya apa kabar kalian semua?
Oke kali ini saya mau merekomendasikan 2 novel berbahasa inggris. Pertama-tama, bulan lalu saya lihat postingan Instagram Stories nya Auli'i Cravalho seperti gambar diatas itu. Siapa kah Auli'i Cravalho??? Dia pemeran AJ di film Crush (nontonnya di Hulu) dan pengisi suaranya Moana (saya juga baru tau setelah nonton Crush).
Saya sangat merekomendasikan film Crush untuk kalian tonton! Klise tapi sangat-sangat menghibur apalagi melihat senyuman lebarnya mba Auli'i. Jujur, suka sekali melihat senyumannya di film Crush. Heartwarming! Selain mba Auli'i, cast nya yang lainnya juga cakep-cakep loh, komedinya dapet juga. Nonton pokoknya! Atau mungkin ada yang sudah nonton? Kalian akan jadi #timAJ atau #timGabby ?
Oke kembali ke topik utama, setelah melihat postingan Igs nya mba Auli'i, dan karena saya suka sama film Crush, saya jadi penasaran dong sama buku yang direkomendasikan. Judulnya She Gets The Girl. Dan setelah saya baca, wow! Bagus banget! Ya ceritanya mirip-mirip lah sama Crush, tapi sekali lagi, bagus!
Nah dari sini minat baca saya numbuh lagi dong, saya mulai cari lah cerita-cerita yang mirip sama She Gets The Girl. Akhirnya menemukan Delilah Green Doesn't Care. Novel yang satu ini juga, wah gila sih! Keren asli! Kalau dibandingkan sama She Gets The Girl, Delilah Green Doesn't Care ini lebih banyak adegan juicy nya iykwim. *suit-suit* Mantap banget pokoknya!
Setelah 2 novel itu, saya belum menemukan lagi novel lain yang ceritanya mirip-mirip seperti novel diatas. Tapiii, setelah Delilah Green Doesn't Care saya sudah membaca sekitar 6-7 novel lain yang saya dapat dari hasil berselancar di Goodreads. Gila kan? Saya menyalahkan mba Auli'i karena membangkitkan minat baca saya lagi, wkwk.
Baiklah tidak akan saya panjangkan, dibawah ini akan saya tambahkan sinopsis dan cover novelnya. Jika kalian tertarik atau malah sudah baca atau ada rekomendasi novel lain, let me know ya!
Dan untuk yang menunggu-nunggu kelanjutannya Ocean, terima kasih sudah menunggu tapi saya minta untuk tidak menunggu. Karena jujur saja, saya belum bisa kembali menulis cerita lagi. Maafkan saya ya. I love you!
Alex Blackwood is a little bit headstrong, with a dash of chaos and a whole lot of flirt. She knows how to get the girl. Keeping her on the other hand...not so much. Molly Parker has everything in her life totally in control, except for her complete awkwardness with just about anyone besides her mom. She knows she's in love with the impossibly cool Cora Myers. She just...hasn't actually talked to her yet.
Alex and Molly don't belong on the same planet, let alone the same college campus. But when Alex, fresh off a bad (but hopefully not permanent) breakup, discovers Molly's hidden crush as their paths cross the night before classes start, they realize they might have a common interest after all. Because maybe if Alex volunteers to help Molly learn how to get her dream girl to fall for her, she can prove to her ex that she's not a selfish flirt. That she's ready for an actual commitment. And while Alex is the last person Molly would ever think she could trust, she can't deny Alex knows what she's doing with girls, unlike her.
As the two embark on their five-step plans to get their girls to fall for them, though, they both begin to wonder if maybe they're the ones falling...for each other.Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls—nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily. Her life is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it's a different woman every night, but that's just fine with her.
When Delilah's estranged stepsister, Astrid, pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a five-figure check, Delilah finds herself back in the godforsaken town that she used to call home. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid's stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there's some fun (and a little retribution) to be had in Bright Falls, after all.
Having raised her eleven-year-old daughter mostly on her own while dealing with her unreliable ex and running a bookstore, Claire Sutherland depends upon a life without surprises. And Delilah Green is an unwelcome surprise...at first. Though they've known each other for years, they don't really know each other—so Claire is unsettled when Delilah figures out exactly what buttons to push. When they're forced together during a gauntlet of wedding preparations—including a plot to save Astrid from her horrible fiancé—Claire isn't sure she has the strength to resist Delilah's charms. Even worse, she's starting to think she doesn't want to.
